| ICE Amps for classical music? Thank you for your concern, Weseixas. I think we should carry on our visit plans via email. That way we can exchange phone no. and not be a bore to the rest. | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? Ah, Weseixas, the mystery continues, just who you are. I would be extremely excited to host a shoot out of the Threshold against the H2O. While we are at it, we can test any number of SCs for laughs. Nothing would please me more. We will have to m... | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? Weseixas,All joking aside, if the Bel Canto can handle 1 ohm, then by all means, drop by with it someday. As an aside, you can make it a marvelous vacation. Visit the lovely abundance of wineries, check out the still largely wild north coast, visi... | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? Weseixas What Rich are we talking about? I will be very happy to entertain any visitor who loves music. Have him shoot me an email. I removed my system from Audiogon. After my spinal operation this month, and trusting I will be in good health afte... | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? If I understand correctly, most ICE modules are stand alone amps that produce no noticeable heat, and are very good performers, are used for mass audio product lines. B&O ICE are constantly improving their on board switching power supply. The ... | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? Audiofefeil, Upsampling, perhaps. Oversampling NO. I have proved that here many times to various people to their satisfaction. Class D is nothing like any tube or solid state amp;Every cable that has gone through here have announced themselves acc... | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? Guidocorona is correct. No ICE amp will sound very good in the first 100 hours, with optimum playing delayed for 100s of hours. Besides the need for a NOS DAC, a good ICE amp will never sound clear unless the whispiest insulated SC is used. Class ... | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? WeseixasI can't defend the Bel Canto, since I haven't heard one. However, as a long time owner of an ICE amp, I have come to dome definite conclusions. It took years of experimentation. On my system the Sony would sound terrible. Then again, way b... | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? Rx8man, yessir.... NO LOOKING BACK | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? One last caveat...... I don't know about any other NOS DACs, but Audio Note DACs have the worst diodes, and that goes for all their models. Both my aged PSA Lambda transport and my Audio Note DAC got new high efficiency fast recovery diodes. The m... | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? I would urge all class D owners to find an AN DAC to try. My class D set up spits out all oversampling or up-sampling players. I haven't had one here that doesn't fall far short of a 1-sampling player or DAC. | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? Mapman, I can't say how happy I am to hear your testament. Class D has got such an undeserved bad rap over the last 7 years.It has been my experience that a great class D amp requires great everything else. By great, I don't mean expensive necessa... | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? Weseixas, Here I though The Scintilla was the only one ohm speaker. I am curious what ribbon speaker you have. I talked to Henry about this among some other things. If you want to know what a certain amp can do, call the builder. There is a catch.... | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? Kijanki, please, you should not make those statements unless you have witnessed the actual application of the 500A module loaded working on 1 ohm. Here is another eye wakener, the H2O can not only do 1 ohm, it is stable on a third of an ohm as wel... | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? Hi Dob, You are absolutely right. There is a difference between the on board ICE module power supply and a good add on. H Ho will make either type, digital power supply, or his own analog power supply as ordered. The one I am using has four huge c... |
